@Mrs_Tomlinson: Alas, the name has no significant connection with Imagine Dragons. "Smoke And Mirrors" is a well-known English idiom that means about the same thing as "Throwing dust in your eyes", i.e. creating a false impression, an illusion.

I wonder if Stark will make a mechanical leg for Sousa after all, as he hinted in the first season?

It's a great series. The parallelli between Whitney/Agnes and Peggy is just mua! Well, in general, Peg was very pleased with the flashbacks to childhood and youth. Especially in contrast to Peggy from the present day.

I feel sorry for my brother. I thought he was going to be in the Shield somewhere, too. But no, he only pushed me to a decision. It was very interesting to see how it all started. And the groom, of course, is not a competitor to Captain America :)

@Viltis: I think the death could have been fabricated, although the fact that he did not get in touch with Peggy later may indicate that he still died. And maybe they will show you more))

I just can't get enough of Jarvis. He's so beautiful! It's also funny to imagine him howling with a koala. I also really liked the flashbacks and how they showed the difference between the lives of Peggy and Whitney.
And yes, the phrase "I'm with you till the end" just finished me off (let's remember the second film about Cap :c)

@Ell: He's a charming genius who rose from the bottom on his own. Peggy knows firsthand how difficult it is to get others to take themselves seriously. She is a woman living in a society of sexist pig men who think that all a woman has to offer is a beautiful face and body. Oh, and make some coffee. He's a man, but he's black, and there are racists everywhere who think he's dirt on their soles. even with his intelligence and achievements, he wasn't given much chance to get a job. only isodyne energy accepted it.
But he's a big-eared Negro. And what did Peggy see in him?

I don't know on purpose or by accident, but the creators are great at showing how incompetent the office is, with unprofessional employees.

The quintessence of all their failed activities is, of course, a military invalid (a great character!), the head of the city department (which is probably acceptable), leading the operational work (which is nonsense even by the standards of comics). Not to mention things like bureaucracy, the need to obey the FBI (what?) and other stuff.

Perhaps we are being led to the formation of a Shield in this way? Where Peggy will symbolize the "good" beginning, and Thompson will symbolize the "bad" in the form of a Hydra..

@Gyshud: The SNR is omitted on purpose, this is obvious. That's why we're watching SHIELD Agents along the way, not SSR Agents.

@Gyshud: It seems to me that the SHIELD was created because of the mistakes and incompetence of the SNR, and Peggy shows these mistakes in every episode.

During the flashbacks with little Peggy, it always seemed like it wasn't her, but Whitney Frost. To put it mildly, they took some dissimilar girls.

Damn, only in this episode did I fully appreciate the cast of Peggy and Whitney. I can't even roughly imagine actresses who would have handled the role the same way and were completely associated only with the characters. and visually, they were so perfectly suited to the era *_*
in short, another wave of adoration for the series.

If in the last episode it was hinted to us that Hady Lamarr was the prototype of Agnes, then in this episode she was even mentioned out loud). And Jarvis, be careful with your expressions? His heart is not in the right place..

I love flashbacks, they give me a glimpse into the life that Peggy and Whitney had in the past. And what a contrast-what Peggy was like when she wasn't herself and how cool she is now! Well, an accident with Jarvis is for all time!
I missed flamingos in this series :)))

A dull and far-fetched love line spoils the overall impression of the season.
The actor playing Wilkes is boring and insipid. I don't want to root for him or worry about him.
Even the flamingo Jarvis is chasing is much more interesting.

And I miss Mrs. Jarvis. She's gorgeous :)

It could be a coincidence.
But the 4th series in a row visually ends with the image of dark matter.

After the scene with Agnes and the radio, I wanted to sort out and fix an old Soviet tape recorder. To bring "Romance" back to life, so to speak.

Peggy has such a wonderful brother. I really feel sorry for him. but the flashbacks about the past (both hers and Whitney's) are bombastic!
It's great that Pegs didn't cheat on herself.

I love Daniel so much, he's a sweetheart. Can I take him and put him in my pocket? I also can't come to terms with his marriage, but because of the difficulties in his relationship with Carter, I sincerely feel sorry for him. just be happy already, cat, and don't need more x))

Jarvis continues to delight each episode with his presence and unique charisma. He and Sousa are definitely my favorites in the hd series.

It was nice to see the childhood of both heroines. They were both taught from childhood not to be what they are, but both have succeeded, though in different ways and on different sides of the fence.
Interesting: the original is I know you're busy, the dubbing is I'm busy.
Then I thought: since Peggy loved fairy tales so much as a child, did she read the Hobbit, even though it came out when she was an adult? Bucky, for example, was reading.

Interestingly, Whitney Frost was also in the comics, and her face was similarly disfigured, though due to a plane crash, and not due to exposure to zero matter.
